A LESSON FOR BoxcoTTERs.


 The boycotters in this country have been that there is law enough to enable the courts to deal with them according to their deserts. The decision just made by Judge Shell of Washington is an instructive one, and makes the matter with which it deals very clear. It is of interest to all who work or employ workmen.
 One Krause, leader of band, was boycott ed by the musical trades unions of Washing ton, and he caused the arrest of several off, cers of 'tthe assembly" on charge of con- spiracy. In his decision Judge Shell point ed out that no question was made in the case as to the rights of laboring men to do all they can to improve their condition, increase their wages and protect themselves against the domination of capital or capitalists by all lawful and peaceful means, including all forms of organization. But if the committee made up of the defendants went to the patrons of Krause and told them that Krause was not in good standing and had been sus- pended by the Washington musical assem- bly,, was a scab, and had scab music, with the design to prejudice him in his business as musician and secure his discharge when employed, and prevent his employment by others-if by such influences, and by offer ing pecuniary inducements to break contracts already made, or to make future engage ments with him in relation to his business; or if they talked about boycott and of 10000 to 60, ,O00 back of them, and that the employment of Krause might be derogatory to business-if such talk was made with the purpose to create fear and thus secure the discharge of Krause and his associates, or prevent his employment, whether the pur- pose was actually accomplished or not, then, said the judge, the acts are unlawful acts, within the meaning of the law, and make the participants guilty of conspiracy. If the purpose of the several acts was to prejudice the complainant in the estimation of the publie, to iniure or ruin, and, contrary to it's design, it proved good advertisement and redounded to his profit, the criminality of the acts is not changed; for it is the purpose of the conspirators in entering into combina- tion which is the controlling fact, and not, in point of fact, what is accomplished.
 This is so plain that it can be easily un- derstood. It will put stop to boyeotting in Washington.

The building is situated in the north of the cemetery, near the Jewish and Mussulman enclosures. It is shaped like a parallelo- gram, and is three stories high, surmounted by two chimneys in white stone. Over the facade are three domes which give the build ing the appearance of religious edifce. The facade will be in black and white marble, and large vestibule is also to be erected. Dr.. Brouardel, in report which he has drawn up on the subject, estimates that the fur naces will be able to consume 4, 4,500 bodies annually. This figure is about the average of the number of corpses which leave the hes pitals of Paris during the year. The Cham Der of Deputies has already passed the Gre nation bill, and it now only remains for the senate to do the same. Whether Parisians, who are outwardly so strict in the treatment of the dead, will be inclined to consign their deceased relatives and friends to the new "Crematoire" remains to be seen.
 Of late years the custom of affixing memo rial tablets to houses in which distinguished men have lived has been largely followed in Berlin, and the result is that considerable number of dwellings have emerged from ob- livion into fame. Among the many noted persons to whom tablets are now dedicated in Berlin Arends, the inventor of steno- graphy, died 1889; Ade1bert von Chamisso, the poet, died 1888; Karl Gutzkow, the poet and author, died 1878; E. Hildebrandt, the painter, died 1868; Alexander von Hum boldt, died 1859; G. E. Lessing, Moses Men delssohn, the sculptor; Andreas von Schluter Q714; the stenographer, H. A. W. Stoke, 1867, and Ludwig Tieck, 1853. With the exception of Gutzkow, Leasing, Schluter and Tieck, the above celebrities died in the houses which now bear their names. One of the most interesting tablets in Berlin is that to be seen on the facade of the Imperial bank, and which is in memory of Grenadier Theis- sen, the first victim of the "revolution" of March, 1848. Another noteworthy tablet is that in Koniggratzerstrasse indicating the position of the old Bismarck linden tree, J which stood in the garden of an academy in which the chancellor was educated from 1922 to 1927

COMMUNICATIONS.

Concerning Missionary Appointments. To the Editor of the JoU COURIER:
 A correspondent in Wednesday mornings JOURNAL AND COURIER makes the request that you should print in your columns the figures which show what missionary appoint ments have been made by the American board during the past year. As many others of your readers may like information on this point, will you allow me space to publish the following extract from the report of the prudential committee for the past year, and to add few comments to make the figures more intelligible?
 "During the past year there have entered upon missionary work abroad, or are now on their way, nine missionaries and 35 assistant missionaries-14 men and 30 women, total of A, IS more than the annual average for the past twelve years" This is Q gratifying showing, and we have reason to be thankful for the remarkable revival of missionary en- thusiasr which has been prevailing especial ly among the young men in our colleges and seminaries. There are, however, several facts which do not appear prominently in this report which afford matter for serious reflection. Of the total number, A, the num- Der of ordained missionaries sent is nine The report fails to state how many more than these nine might have been sent but for the proscriptive policy of the administration. The S the past year to receive appointment for doc tIinal reasons. am somewhat familiar with several of these cases. They were regarded by many others as test cases. More young men in our seminaries have relinquished all thought of missionary service on account of the decision in these cases than the commit tee have appointed during the past year. The number of those who have been turned aside from their missionary purpose is larger than the secretary probably knows. A year ago the names of over twenty such persons were repeated to me and the number has been in- creasing since.
 Another fact of significance does not ap- pear in the report Secretary Alden when in this city last winter said that "the Presby- terians had men and we had money" It is stated in the report that four of the mission aries appointed came from Canada. It is not stated how many of the missionary appointees have received a full or 8 partial education from our New England theological semina- ries. We wish that the report had been more explicit upon some of these very interesting points. make no reflection upon the de- voted men and women who have been able to receive missionary appointment notwith- standing the present policy of the board. But 1t is the simple truth that the most promising young men from our seminaries, who have brought the highest testimonials from their instructors and from others, have not received appointment. A student from Yale seminary, for example, who was strong ly commended by it's faculty, who was i- censed unanimously and with praise by a New Haven association and who has since been ordained by Congregational council in the Vest was among the number of choice young men who have been refused missiona- ry appointment. But will not take space for the present with further facts.

"PRINCE OF THIEVES.
The Career of Big Jim Burns, Who Planned an Ingenious Robbery in Philadelphia.

From the Philadelphia News.l
 The death of the notorious bank sneak, James Burns, in Hamburg some days since recalls the story of one of his boldest plans, which was laid against the great banking house of Drexel & Co.,, in this city, at the time when their office was at 34 South Third street.
 In the old building the bonds were kept during the day in wooden drawer which was only about twelve inches from anyone standing in front of the counter, which was of wood.
 It was proposed to wait until afternoon, when the valuables had all been removed and the women were scrubbing the offices. One of the ''sneaks" was then to enter as if to write a note in hurry; he would be fol- lowed by others, one of whom, while appa- rently leaning against the counter, was to cut hole eight inches in diameter directly opposite the end of the drawer, and through the drawer itself This would take not more than five minutes, and traces of the cutting could be covered up in no time by means of walnut putty. The next day, when the bonds were put back into the drawer, one member of the gang was to engage the at- tention of the clerk, while another would push through the detached piece, under GOV CT of 8 large cloak, and secure handful of bonds. Burns was foiled in his attempt by the fact that just as he perfected the scheme he was arrested, and before he regained his liberty the bank had moved.
 He WAS baffied in another scheme in 1877 by mere luck. He and Horace Horan, alias sLittle Horace,' had followed a messenger to the Western Savings bank at Tenth and Walnut streets, and were just about to seize the bonds when they were scared off by the entrance of customer.
 Burns, or Big Jim," as he was familiarly called, was born in Boston, Mass, in 194O. His liberality to his pals gave him the title of 1.-the prince of thieves," and it is a well- known fact that when any of his associates were in trouble he contributed largely to support their wives and children. He had served terms in Sing Sing, New York aud Boston, and had an international reputation. He escaped from Raymond street jail in Brooklyn on Friday, July 31, 1883, and since that time he has been in Europe. His last enterprise was the robbery of the Vereins bank in Hamburg on June 22, 1885. He succeeded in getting about fortyfour thou sand dollars He was the man who origina- ted the "sneak" method in the robbery of banks, the most daring of all the schemes by which a bank is "worked." His associates in the invention of this method are now re- putable merchants and have deserted their evil WAYS forever.

CATARRHAL DANGERS.

To be freed from the dangers of suffocation while lying down; to breathe freely, sleep soundly and undisturbed; to rise refreshed, head clear, brain active and free from pain ache; to know that no poisonous, putrid matter dees the breath and rots away the delicate machinery of smell, taste and hearing; to feel that the system does not through it's velns and arteries, suck up the poison that is sure 10 undermine and destroy, is indeed blessing beyond all other human enjoyments. To purchase immunity from such fate should be the object of all afflicted But those who have tried many rem edies and physicians despair of relief or cure.

Money contributed for use in politics is not always as carefully accounted for as was that used by the managers of the recent pro- hibition campaign in Davidson county, Ten nessee. The receipts consisted of voluntary contributions from a large number of per- sons, ranging in size from 25 cents to $100, but mostly in sums not exceeding $5, amount ing in the aggregate to $1,205.40, which was afterwards supplemented by the payment of $1O5.45 by 8 single person to meet the bal ance of the total expenditures of $1,310.85. An itemized account of the expenditures is presented, from bills of $200 for hacks used on election day and $100 for the rent of A theater at 8 prohibition meeting down to 40 cents for broom and sprinkling pot for use in keeping the headquarters clean, and 30 cents for pitcher and glass.
 Everywhere except in 8 part of Fairfield county the general opinion seems to be that it would be folly for the Governor to call an extra session of the legislature to deal with the grade crossing question. The Hartford Times puts the matter about right when it says: The legislature at it's late session gave much time to this subject and was finally content in leaving the law it now stands, requiring certain percentage of the cross ings to be changed every year, and author izing the railroad commissioners to designate the crossings to be changed, and under cer- tain limitations to name the assessments to be made upon the railroads and the towns where grade crossings are removed. It does not appear that the extra session would be likely to improve upon this state of affairs. The case does not seem to be one of Especial emergency" which the constitution names as a reason for converting the general assembly in extra session.
